The Minister of Finance read his
answer to Noble Dole's question, asked
Yesterday about the Loan bonds, as
follows: To the Hon. S. G. Wilder,
President of the Legislative Assembly.
In reply to the resolution asking if the
100000 of bonds have been sold in
London to actual investors in whole or
in part, or whether they are still in the
possession of the syndicate, / have the
honor to reply:
That to the best of my knowledge
and belief all said bonds have been
sold to actual investors and that they
are not now in the possession of the
syndicate.
The following is an extract from a
letter dated London, August 9th last,
from Mr.. II. r. Armstrong to me:
SIN the meantime there is one point upon
which think ! ought To offer an explanation
TO your Excellency, viz: that the question
between the Hawaiian Government and the
holders of the bonds is quite distinct from
the syndicate whose functions ceased en-
tirely when the Loan was issued to the
British public. Not one member of the syn
dictate having an allotment of bonds speci-
ally made to him. The question now at
issue as to the delivery of the bonds, lies
between Your EXcellency' Government and
the public here, and it is this alteration in
the position of matters that makes the ques
ton of the bonds of such vital importance to
the credit of the Hawaiian Government"
Mr.. G. w. Macfarlane's report which
accompanied mine explains fully that
it is rule of the London Stock EX-
change that no member of the syndi-
cate that floats loan shall have any
bonds allotted to him unless the whole
amount to be issued is not subscribed
for by the public. In this case the
whole e200 900 was sold to the public.
/ have received other evidence that
these statements are substantially cor
rect. Respectfully submitted,
w. i. GREEN.
Noble Baldwin moved the report be
laid on the table to be considered with
the Minister'S report on the Loan.
